Weekly Spooky: Scary Stories and Horror Fun Every Week!

Welcome back, my dear. Tonight we slip past the velvet edge where conscience and consequence share a heartbeat. Greed calls from the deep; a confession rots in the light; a noir mind stumbles behind the curtain; and summer itself says farewell with a ghost’s restraint.

• 💔 You Can Die Again — A remorseful man confesses to murder, but his story frays under questioning, memory unspooling like thread in a dark room. (Written for radio by Sam Dan; original cast includes Richard Mulligan.) 
• 💰🌊 Money Money Money — A voice of temptation, a room of gold, and a dangerous dive where the price of breath is counted in coins. (“Money, money, money…” becomes a spell—and a curse.)   
• 🎭🖤 The Black Curtain — Amnesia, pursuit, and a star caught in a web of Suspense; the curtain lifts to reveal a face he can’t trust—his own. (Suspense, starring Cary Grant.) 
• 🌅🍂 Summer Goodbye — On a heat-heavy wind, Quiet, Please intones a farewell—rituals, recollections, and the thin place where seasons and souls change hands. (Written & directed by Willis Cooper; featuring Ernest Chappell.) 

Step carefully, my dear—behind every choice tonight, something listens.

“Cutting Deep into Horror” dives headfirst into Paul W.S. Anderson’s cult-classic sci-fi horror Event Horizon (1997). Hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi unpack how a “haunted house in space” premise, Catholic-guilt undertones, and that infamous “I don’t need eyes to see” line still rattle nerves. We track the film’s bomb-then-cult trajectory, the ‘90s horror landscape post-Scream, and why the movie’s gothic production design and jump scares work because they reveal character, not just because they’re loud.

Inside this episode

• Event Horizon as a haunted house in space: gothic corridors, lightning over a gas giant, and experiential terror over pure plot.
• ‘90s context: the post-Scream pivot and where big monster/ghost cycles fit in that moment.
• Latin distress call (“liberate tutemet ex inferis”) and what it implies about a hellish dimension.
• Character-first fear: Captain Miller’s zero-G fire memory; Dr. Weir’s grief, guilt, and “no eyes” transformation.
• The “Baby Bear” airlock sequence and how the movie makes space hazards horrifyingly tactile.
• CO₂ scrubbers, ticking clocks, and the ship as a possible “immune response” vs. the doorway to literal hell.
• Space-horror lineage mentioned: Hellraiser vibes; Jason X, Leprechaun 4, Critters 4; plus how Star Trek often dabbled in horror vibes across series.
• Final act choices: separation charges, sacrifice, and the fake-out rescue ending.
• Quick nod to the new 4K collector’s edition they watched and why it pops.

In this terrifying new tale, horror author Rob Fields takes us deep into the haunted town of Strickfield. When Lucibella Taibon, Elder Princess of Hell, crosses through Ravenhenge into the mortal world, the summer heat feels like Heaven compared to the firestorm she carries inside. Her mission: protect Eileen Donnerly from a brutal revenge plot that threatens body, soul, and fate itself.

On July 4, 1984, police dogs uncovered a shallow grave in the quiet town of Northport, Long Island. Inside lay the mutilated body of 17-year-old Gary Lauwers—stabbed more than 30 times in a drug-fueled frenzy by his friend Ricky “The Acid King” Kasso. Within days, the story became national news, sparking headlines of Satanic sacrifice and cementing Kasso as the terrifying face of America’s 1980s Satanic Panic.

But was this really the work of a Satanic cult, or simply the grim fallout of teenage drug abuse, mental illness, and neglect? In this episode of Terrifying & True, we dive deep into the disturbing murder in Aztakea Woods, Ricky Kasso’s descent into drugs and occult posturing, and how the media turned one horrific killing into a nationwide moral hysteria.

We’ll examine:

• The brutal murder of Gary Lauwers and Kasso’s infamous demand, “Say You Love Satan.”
• How the case fueled the fire of the Satanic Panic sweeping America.
• The media’s sensational claims versus the grim reality of drugs, rage, and tragedy.
• The trial of Jimmy Troiano and the lasting legacy of the “Acid King” myth.

From grave robbing to cult rumors, from teenage rebellion to national paranoia, this is the chilling true story of Ricky Kasso, the Acid King of Northport.
We’re telling that story tonight.

My dear, the night is a ledger—debits in blood, credits in whispers. Stars tilt the scale, luck frays at the edge, and footsteps in the dark always find their way to a door you don’t want to open.

Tonight, five vintage radio chillers trace the thin line between chance and destiny—perfect for fans of classic old-time radio anthologies and atmospheric suspense.

✨ Death in the Stars
A ruthless horoscope foretells the end for a powerful matriarch. Pride meets prophecy as ambition, family, and fate collide on Mystery Theater (written by Ian Martin, starring Kim Hunter). 

🌙 The Long Night
A man trapped by fear, fog, and ticking minutes. Suspense tightens the noose as Frank Lovejoy leads a nerve-jangling race against inevitability. 

🍀 Lucky Night
You thought fate finally smiled… then The Whistler arrived. Luck turns lethal when a “sure thing” spirals into confession and consequence. 

🚶 I Walk in the Night
A restless soul and a city that never sleeps. From Mystery Playhouse, a nocturnal confession unfolds—introduced as “I Walk in the Night,” credited in-show to Emil Teppelman.   
 
🕯️ Dark, Dark Destiny
Inside the Inner Sanctum, temptation beckons and a decent man descends. “Raymond” opens the door; destiny slams it shut.   

So listen closely, my dear. Stars are far, but doom walks beside us.

Fire in the Sky (1993) explained — the chilling alien-abduction film based on Travis Walton’s true story. On Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi break down why the UFO sequence still shocks, how director Robert Lieberman builds dread, and where movie dramatization diverges from the real Arizona logging-crew case. We compare the film to Walton’s account, spotlight the cast (D.B. Sweeney, Robert Patrick, James Garner), and dig into small-town paranoia, survivor trauma, hypnosis testimony, and the 90s UFO boom.

Inside this episode

• Fire in the Sky true story vs. film — what’s verified and what’s contested.
• Abduction set-piece breakdown: production design, practical effects, and sound that still terrify.
• Performance notes: Sweeney’s vulnerability, Patrick’s stoicism, Garner as relentless investigator.
• Themes & context: guilt, media pressure, and why the case haunts pop culture.
• Legacy: how a cult classic shaped alien-abduction horror for the 90s and beyond.

Is Fire in the Sky a true story?
Yes. It’s based on Travis Walton’s 1975 abduction claim; the film dramatizes events for storytelling.

Where to watch (U.S.) right now
• Free (with ads): Pluto TV (availability rotates). 
• Rent/Buy: Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home (Vudu), and Paramount Movies. 

If you’re into alien-abduction horror, true-story thrillers, and 90s cult classics, queue this episode—sharp analysis, cultural context, and craft talk with a few laughs and plenty of goosebumps.

Summer, 1984—at the height of the Satanic Panic. Ricky is a motor-mouthed teen who wants proof the Devil is listening. In a moonlit patch of woods, a dare turns into a ritual and a killing. What follows is darker: Ricky props the body in a lawn chair with sunglasses, invites classmates to look, and turns terror into spectacle—boombox hissing, insects buzzing, and bravado curdling into dread as word spreads and the cops close in.

This isn’t a true-crime retelling; it’s a brutal horror story steeped in Acid King folklore—teen cult swagger, drugs, and a swaggering kid convinced he’s owed infernal fame. The consequences arrive in handcuffs and, at the end, a quiet, awful moment alone in a jail cell. Listener discretion advised for graphic violence, drug use, and suicide.

What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation by Dan Wilder
